Join us on July 13, 2017 from 6:00-8:00PM in Menlo Park for a small gathering to learn more about the team and the process for how we design at Facebook. You'll be hearing from Shali Nguyen, Product Design Manager and Kara Fong, Design Program Manager on the Interfaces team at Facebook as well as Scott Horsfall, Product Designer on the Design Tools team.

We'll be walking through:

Note from the meet up organizers:

Thank you to Facebook for offering to host and sponsor the event.

Please be on time so we can manage attendance with security efficiently. We have limited capacity, so if you’d like to attend, make sure to RSVP on Eventbrite.

In the event of a waiting list being activated, please contact or cancel if you find you cannot attend so others can sign up. Thanks!

No print out of a ticket is necessary; we’ll have a list. We look forward to seeing you there!

This meetup will be at Twitter’s offices downtown. They will show some of their design systems work, and tell you about what they’re working on. Then we’ll spend the rest of the time mingling with like-minded systems designers & developers! Pizza, kombucha, wine, beer, and fizzy water will be served in a casual café environment.
